Abstract
The drug was initially administrated relying on pills, eye drops, ointments, and intravenous solutions. In the last decades, several novel technologies have emerged to overcome significant challenges including poor solubility, drug aggregation, low bioavailability, limited biodistribution, poor absorption in the body, lack of selectivity, or to minimize the adverse effects of therapeutic drugs. Drug delivery systems (DDS) can be designed to the technologies that carry drugs into or throughout the body of humans or animals to enhance therapeutic efficacy. DDS can also be considered for in vivo delivery, particularly for their use in peptide and protein therapeutics. Continued research may show the trends and perspectives of how drugs are delivered. In addition, this article includes comprehensive information regarding the trends and perspectives in DDS technologies.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology publishes original manuscripts, full-length/mini reviews, thematic issues, rapid technical notes and commentaries that provide insights into the synthesis, characterisation and pharmaceutical (or diagnostic) application of materials at the nanoscale. The nanoscale is defined as a size range of below 1 µm. Scientific findings related to micro and macro systems with functionality residing within features defined at the nanoscale are also within the scope of the journal. Manuscripts detailing the synthesis, exhaustive characterisation, biological evaluation, clinical testing and/ or toxicological assessment of nanomaterials are of particular interest to the journal’s readership. Articles should be self contained, centred around a well founded hypothesis and should aim to showcase the pharmaceutical/ diagnostic implications of the nanotechnology approach. Manuscripts should aim, wherever possible, to demonstrate the in vivo impact of any nanotechnological intervention. As reducing a material to the nanoscale is capable of fundamentally altering the material’s properties, the journal’s readership is particularly interested in new characterisation techniques and the advanced properties that originate from this size reduction. Both bottom up and top down approaches to the realisation of nanomaterials lie within the scope of the journal.
